WWE: Big Cass Update, Graves vs. Taz? Rousey Expected to Be Booed

Big Cass Update

As mentioned yesterday, Big Cass was backstage at Raw last night and is almost ready to return from his torn ACL that he suffered in August.

In an update to this situation, Cass was reportedly telling people backstage at Raw that he has been cleared to return, according to PWInsider.

He has been working out at the WWE Performance Center for the past month to prepare for his return.

Corey Graves Takes a Shot at Taz

Corey Graves posted this “shot” at Taz on Twitter for some reason. Nobody, including Taz, seems to know what it’s about yet. The whole dumb Booker T situation seems to have people assuming it’s a “work” in the Twitter replies though.

Insecurity is a bad color on you @OfficialTAZ, shoulda stuck to orange and black.

I have no clue what you are talking about.
PS: Tough to be insecure when I’m the happiest I’ve been ever professional for past 3 + years & I always stick to ORANGE & BLACK. https://t.co/DhecR40gCZ

Ronda Rousey Was Expecting Boos

Ronda Rousey was interviewed by Mirror Online and said that she was expecting to be booed by the crowd during her “contract signing” at Elimination Chamber. It obviously ended up that she got a surprisingly overwhelmingly positive reaction.

In WWE you also have to get on a microphone and address a live crowd. Fans can be unforgiving at times, but your arrival seems to have been met with an overwhelmingly positive reaction. How much does that mean to you?

“I wasn’t expecting that to be honest. In judo I’ve been booed in 30 different countries over 10 years. I never heard anyone cheer for me once, ever. I didn’t know what it sounded like until MMA and even then, I would get booed and cheered, I would never get an overwhelmingly positive response. And I loved that, it was always the crowd competing with each other. I really thought like coming over into WWE, that a lot of people would resent me for it and feel like I didn’t deserve the opportunity and try and do everything they could to sabotage it. I walked out honestly expecting the worst in people. And I received the complete opposite.

“All that emotion on my face was actually real, I was expecting to get booed out of the arena. And I still am a lot of times when I walk out there, ha ha. You know? Because if my relationship with the public in general was a relationship with an actual person, it would be the most dysfunctional relationship of my life and I probably would have took that person out of my life a long time ago.

“So it’s hard to trust people to not break your heart when you go out there. So I get out there with a very thick skin and ready for everybody to try and like, I don’t know, screw me up somehow… But the open arms I received coming into the industry, it makes me want to cry every time I think about it. And I know any day from now that could switch and they could decide they hate my guts…”
